PRESS RELEASE

Service
ROK 'Certified Solutions Provider' with AT&T, RHS set for 'explosive
growth'
Ticker Symbol: RKG

London, 9th August 2011
ROK Americas, the US subsidiary of ROK Global PLC, the mobile and web
technology development company, has today announced it has achieved AT&T's
coveted 'Certified Solution Provider' status.
AT&T receives many thousands of requests from software vendors who wish to
become a Certified Solutions Provider, from which only a very small number
are able to meet the exacting standards set by AT&T. These standards
include the uniqueness of the application or service, its relevance to
AT&T's enterprise customers, the viability of the business model and the
strength of the company behind the service.
The ROK Homeland Security (RHS) service will now be marketed by AT&T Mobile
Applications Consultants (MAC's) to relevant law enforcement and
Governmental agencies across America.
Commenting, Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman and CEO of ROK said 'Being a
Certified Solutions Provider with AT&T isa fantastic achievement as it
means we now have access to numerous AT&T accounts in the law enforcement
and Government sector immediately, right across the United States'
ROK Homeland Security is a mobile phone-based service which provides
real-time, secure technologies to assist law enforcement officers in the
gathering and management of information in a variety of formats including
encrypted data based communications and improved spatial awareness
capabilities. RHS has been specifically designed for use in
counter-terrorism operations, criminal investigations, counter-narcotic
operations, physical security, evidence-gathering and field communications.
'ROK Homeland Security is now positioned for explosive growth in the coming
months as we are now able to use existing AT&T contracts with Government
agencies to shortcut the bidding scheduling issues we would have normally
faced, dramatically shortening our sales cycle.' Added Kendrick.
Listed on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, ROK Global PLC
was co-founded by US Billionaire John Paul DeJoria and UK-based serial
technology-specialist entrepreneur, Jonathan Kendrick.
In addition to being co-founder of ROK, John Paul DeJoria is Chairman and
CEO of John Paul Mitchell Systems, the producer and manufacturer of Paul
Mitchell hair care products which achieves in-salon retail sales of
approximately US $900m annually through more than 100,000 salons worldwide.
John Paul is also co-founder of Patron Tequila, the world's leading
premium tequila brand.
ROK has pioneered many new technologies in the rapidly-evolving mobile and
web space, including high quality mass-market Mobile TV (which can be
streamed, live and on-demand, over mass-market 2.5G as well as 3G and
Wi-Fi) as well as mobile security technologies and multi-language
text-to-speech technologies.
